Consequently, I vote issues and ideas exclusively. Since no presidential candidate has earned a doctorate in every academic pursuit know to man, NO candidate is qualified to do the job. They will all assemble a team of experts, and the experts will be attracted to the candidate's ideology--not personality.

Bernie Sanders is the ONLY candidate who dares to envision America catching up to the other great democracies in public education and health care. As for Hillary and the Republicans, they call America's shameful social regressiveness "American Exceptionalism."

If you believe that Americans are not as good as Swedes and Danes and the Dutch and don't deserve the kind of civilized country that they have, vote for one of the Neanderthals like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Other than that, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are from my perspective the only two people in the country worth supporting. As for the others, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

This past year, the wife and I traveled a bit by car from New England and, most recently, to the southern section of Florida and then back home. This is the first Presidential Election year I can recall that almost no one has a presidential candidate bumper sticker. The only ones we have seen are for Bernie Sanders.

If the races look interesting to me, I try to tap into the pulses of various factions. I noticed this time that Trump and Sanders seem to be attracting proponents and voters with some similarities. Should Trump be shunted aside by the intellectual charismatic giants who comprise the established GOP, I would not be surprised to see more than a few Trump afficionados vote for Bernie as a "fuck you" gesture to the party without testicles. Should Bernie fail to garner his party's nomination and Trump get his, I would expect similar responses.

Regarding the Klan and American Nazi Party, I expect that most of the members are comprised of the ranks of FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshall Service undercover agents and paid informants.

As for Elizabeth Warren, a Native American story comes to mind...the guy is just passing through the town on an early Saturday evening and stops into a tavern for a cold one and maybe some action. So after getting his long neck, he sidles up behind two attractive young things and hears them discussing which races of males have the largest cocks. One girl tells the other that Jews have the biggest schlongs while to other argues that American Indians are better endowed. So the guy sits down next to them and says "Hi, there. I'm Geronimo Goldstein."
